Your next chapter starts where the ocean meets the ordinary — and Ty Bellamy helps you write it.
Buyer representation, seller guidance, and neighborhood know-how for homes along the northern Grand Strand. No pressure, just clear answers and a plan that actually fits your life.
I grew up here. I still live here. That makes a difference when you're buying or selling a home.
North Myrtle Beach isn't just where I work — it's where I raise my family, grab coffee at the corner shop, and watch the same sunsets year after year. That means I know which streets stay dry when the rain rolls in, which neighborhoods feel quiet at night, and which schools actually have the programs your kids will use.
I got into real estate because I like solving the puzzle of finding the right home for the right person. Some clients need a beach-adjacent fixer-upper they can grow into. Others want a turnkey place close to the pier and the surf. I meet them where they are and keep things simple.
Honest advice, even when it's not the sale you want
Local roots across the Grand Strand, not just a business address
Clear communication — you'll always know what's happening next
Everything you need to move forward — nothing you don't
Whether you're picking up and moving to the coast for the first time or trading up to something closer to the water, I'll walk you through each step without the jargon.
Buying a Home
I'll help you narrow down neighborhoods, understand what homes in your price range actually deliver, and navigate offers, inspections, and closing with confidence. First-time buyers get extra attention — this is probably the biggest purchase of your life, and it deserves a thoughtful approach.
Selling a Home
Selling is part strategy, part presentation. I'll walk through your property honestly, suggest the changes that actually move the needle, and position it so the right buyers notice it fast. You'll know your home's realistic value before we list — no surprises.
Market Guidance
The Grand Strand market shifts with the seasons, and timing matters. I'll give you a straight read on current conditions, help you decide whether to list now or wait, and explain what's driving prices in the neighborhoods you're considering.
Investment Properties
Short-term rentals, long-term holds, or a beach cottage you'll use yourself — I understand the different models and can help you weigh rental potential, insurance costs, and neighborhood trends before you commit.
Relocation Support
Moving to the Grand Strand from out of state? I'll help you understand the area beyond the tourist corridors — schools, commute routes, seasonal crowds, and the neighborhoods that feel like home year-round.
Price & Strategy Consults
Even if you're not ready to work together yet, I'm happy to sit down and walk through your situation. A clear picture of your options is valuable on its own — and there's no obligation to move forward.
Areas I Serve
North Myrtle Beach and the greater Grand Strand
I focus on the northern coast first — where the waters are calmer, the pace is slower, and the community feels like a neighborhood instead of a destination. But I work across the whole strand.
Huntington Beach
A quieter stretch of coast with a state park, marsh trails, and a laid-back atmosphere. Great for families and anyone who wants beach access without the boardwalk energy.
Ocean Woods
One of North Myrtle Beach's most established communities, with tree-lined streets, mature landscaping, and homes that range from modest bungalows to larger beach-adjacent properties.
Kiawah River
Waterfront living along the Kiawah River offers shelling beaches, kayak access, and a slower rhythm. Ideal if you want the coast without the seasonal rush.
Myrtle Beach
When you want more restaurants, events, and activity at your doorstep, the central Myrtle Beach corridor delivers. I help buyers find the right balance between convenience and calm.
Waccamaw Neck
Between the ocean and the intracoastal, this peninsula offers a mix of older homes, newer builds, and easy access to both the beach and the golf courses.
Long Beach & Surrounds
A residential stretch south of North Myrtle Beach with a small-town feel, close to the hospital, shopping, and major corridors — practical without giving up the coast lifestyle.
Kind Words
What clients have said about working together
I let the relationships do the talking. Here's what a few people have shared after closing.
"We drove up from Atlanta with zero plan and left with a house we love. Ty didn't push us toward anything fancy — he helped us figure out what we actually wanted, and then found it. That's rare."
"Selling our parents' place wasn't easy emotionally, but Ty made the process straightforward. He was honest about what the home needed, walked us through every step, and treated us with patience the whole time."
"I've bought and sold a few properties over the years, and Ty stands out because he explains things clearly instead of talking over your head. You always know where you stand with him."
Common Questions
Straight answers to the questions I hear most
Absolutely not. Most of my clients are reached by phone or video before they ever meet in person. I'm comfortable working with out-of-state buyers, investors, and anyone planning a move to the coast.
Just a real conversation. I'll ask about your timeline, your budget, what matters most in a home, and any concerns you have. Then I'll give you an honest read on whether the market is on your side right now and what the next steps would look like.
I prepare you for each stage so nothing feels sudden. Before an offer, we'll discuss pricing strategy and terms. During negotiations, I'll explain every counter and help you decide what's worth holding firm on. My goal is for you to feel confident at every turn.
I work across the Grand Strand, including Myrtle Beach, Surfside Beach, Garden City, Long Beach, and the surrounding communities. If you're unsure which area fits your needs, I'm happy to walk through the options with you.
No. I'm happy to answer questions, review your situation, and give you a clear picture of your options before you commit to anything. If we decide to work together, we'll talk through fees and representation upfront.
Whenever you're ready. Some clients call when they're just curious; others reach out with a deadline. I adjust to your pace and keep things moving without pressure.
